I got the "SnowGlo" Male from a breeder along with the "Jungle Bandit Poss Giant" Female and the "Hypo Tangerine" Female from a LPS... If the Hypo tang is not what they said i would like to take her back and i know for a fact the SnowGlos father was a Eclipse mack snow het raptor . Let me know what you guys think! Thanks.

Male

Female Tang

Female Jungle Bandit

I was told the male is Reverse stripe Snowglo******

The breeder just sent me this about the snow/bandit: Both were sired by a giant Sunglow het raptor. The mother of the Snowglow was a albino snow het raptor. The mother of the albino jungle bandit was a giant Aptor het raptor. Sooo.. Idk

The hypo tangerine actually looks like a super hypo tangerine (no spots on her body, just head and tail).

The male is definitely a reverse stripe albino, and *could* be a snow, though it's sometimes hard to tell on an adult. Even if he is a snow, though, I'm not sure "snowglow" would be the proper term for him. Maybe someone else can chime in and help on this one.

The "bandit" is definitely an albino with jungle/aberrant pattern. But usually "Bandit" is reserved for specific lines of geckos, not just any geckos that have the nose-band marking.

Whatever they actually are, they're lovely geckos!

I am thinking about taking the Tangerine back to the LPS i paid $45 for her and i'm thinking i over paid and repicon is this saturday so idk if i should keep her or take her back and get more money for repitcon..

Bump anyone? This place seems really slow..

Mostly because it can be slow sometimes, and many (most?) gecko keepers also have full time jobs and aren't available during the work day. Since this isn't an emergency, some might also have mentally flagged it for a response later and not gotten back to it yet. Just be patient.

I'm assuming you're planning to breed these geckos? In that case, I'd recommend taking the (low quality in my opinion) superhypo tangerine gecko back if you can, since undoubtedly the pet store doesn't know this gecko's genetics. Get something at the show from someone who can tell you the genetics.

Snowglow:
If the breeder can confirm that the snowglow was beige and white (not beige and yellow) when it was born, it is a snow.
The "glow" part refers to the "sunglow" morph which was a superhypo (no body spots) albino. This gecko has inherited the reverse stripe from the Raptor genes but has not inherited the polygenetic "no body spots" trait. As mentioned before, it's a reverse stripe snow albino. If its eyes are snaked-eyed or red, it's also an eclipse. It's got a 50% or 67% chance of being het for eclipse if its eyes are normal colored.

I'm a little disturbed about a breeder who doesn't know what s/he is producing and even though the geckos look really good, I'd hesitate to continue to buy from them if you plan to breed.
